    The tater tots ( to call them just tater tots does not do them justice) are several cuts above anything that I have ever had by the same name. They say it takes 24 hours to make them. After tasting them, it is both believable and worthwhile The salmon was also excellent along with the beet salad. The chocolate peanut butter torte while good did not quite live up to the rest of the meal. Service was outstanding,

    We were moved to a back patio as it was colder than we thought when we arrived. Service was fun and friendly and my allergies were easily accommodated. Some dishes we so good we ordered them twice! Really affordable wine selection and they stay open late!

    Quant little table for 2 perfectly positioned to watch the sun tip behind the horizon. Perfectly placed patio heaters kept it cozy, blankets were available on the chair if needed. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and prompt, but not too prompt - we didn’t feel rushed out. I’m new to Victoria and this is forever on my list ❤️

    Literally everything we ordered was delightful! The tots—where do I begin—crunchy outside with this pillowy mashed potato like texture inside. The pork belly! The duck! Get it all.
